Slap Shot

Slap Shot (not to be confused with Slap-Shot! Hockey/Slapshot) is a 2 player only vs 2 on 2 (player and a goalie) hockey game for the Commodore 64. It was developed by John Fedor and published in COMPUTE!'s Gazette 1989/10 (Issue #76).

The score’s five up and time is running out—only 20 seconds left. Your opponent is pushing the puck up the ice, trying desperately to get around you. But this time, your defenses are impenetrable. Suddenly, a mistake—the puck slides free. You grab it and race for the goal. A glance at the clock: five, four, three.... You fake right and then shoot left. The goalie lunges, but to no avail. The puck’s in the net— you win!

“Slap Shot” is a two-player, arcade-style game requiring quick reflexes. The object of the game is simple: Using two players, a goalie and a forward, you must outscore your opponent in a game of ice hockey. Slap Shot features many of the aspects of this sport, including checking and a puck that sometimes leaves the surface of the ice. Two game options are also provided; games can be based on time and on the number of goals scored.
